PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Bo Van Pelt withdrew after the first round of the 95^th PGA Championship, citing a hip injury.

Van Pelt made only one birdie in a 10-over 80 Thursday at Oak Hill, which put him last in the 156-player field.

It’s been a disappointing 2013 campaign for Van Pelt, who tied for 21^st last week at Firestone and has only one top 10 in 20 starts this season. He is 82^nd in FedEx Cup points with only two regular-season starts remaining, but it is unclear how much time he will miss, if any, because of injury.
